How refreshing to see something other than snow blind white.
or brown and black, so boring and impersonal
Or beige!
I have watched this house video over and over the last couple of months. Just finished my sunporch and living room, and people are giving me similar comments about how joyful the space is. Exactly what I was needing after losing my sister’s husband to suicide, then my dad to Dementia three weeks later. My happy, colorful house is keeping me from falling into a full on depression.
It’s a pretty, colourful and low budget renovation, not breaking the bank on the decor in the living room. Great job! The kitchen looks like where most of the budget was spent and it’s stunning!
Yes. The exact idea is to be city villager. So nice. Earthiness always. To know what has been lacking is to know how to live. One who knows to live has the ability to help others live.
I LOVE all of the changes that were made. I don't know why so many homeowners are afraid of color. Keep proving them wrong.
Tuatara Boo It means that they’re always thinking about optimum resale value. Colour can put potential buyers off because seeing the sellers’ personal taste so on display prevents them from seeing themselves living there.
also because too much color gets boring! I get bored easily and I have to always keep things classic and neutral otherwise i'm just wasting money pursuing trends and getting bored with them and staring all over again.
@@peadar-o but you can paint the walls neutral again before selling. Seems kind of silly to pay a lot of money to own a home and then decorate not to your own taste but to please a potential buyer :/
Or maybe they don't like colour. I can't imagine that.
@@inspiredby624 Exactly what I have always thought. What if my house doesn't sell for a while? Then I'm living in a place I don't like, possibly for months! If they can't look beyond some color (and the agent doesn't help them along), that's too bad; I'll wait.
So glad to see COLOR!!! Tired of neutrals & safe decorating. Makes me smile!
Hallelujah! I’m into eclectic and COLORFUL! So many “boho” rooms are just beige and tan and off-white. Boo.
Love every SINGLE thing about this home, from the portrait of the Queen in the front hall to the botanical wallpaper in the kitchen. Genius. Inspiring. Uplifting!
I have seen 100s of videos for reno. But this is the only more pragmatic house I have seen which is a real home.. As you cannot make your house a 24/7 hotel arranged.. Being a mother of a toddler I know this pain of keeping your home perfect all the time.. Mrs hamdan..
The designer knows how to play with colour , even her colour sense to pick up the right choice from her closet for this interview matches with the aesthetic of what the video all about. And the furniture design and lay out feels to homey to be at your reach - making it more precious.
I still watch this 3 years later because I love, love the colours and style ! ❤❤❤
"a second life rug" I love that description for a pre-owned/pre-loved item.
I can’t get enough of this house-in my opinion, it’s perfect!! The choices are lively but not jarring-in any way! In the wrong hands, this could’ve been a train wreck-it was beautifully done, here!
So homophobic and not relevant to the comment or video
Beautiful combination of colors
One of the most beautiful home make over I've ever seen !
Please show more interiors like this. Absolutely love it!
This is why you hire an interior designer. I'd never put this together. All those white homes we've been seeing for years now are so cookie cutter. This is so creative. Good job
Thank you! Us artists aren’t useless, life would be really rough if artists couldn’t do what they do. Art is all around us and goes unnoticed all the time. Id love to see people walk through a city built without artists.
Love it a house with soul & imagination! All those white or grey houses are just same old same old .
@@arianaa.3448 I am also an artist in various ways, and many people think, our sectors are just enertainment and useless- but it is def NOT
@@arianaa.3448 I love this interior and, like previous comments it does have soul, my home has a similar theme, but with teal and natural materials, a lot of the pastels and grays and monotones are a result of interior designers selling those trends and the masses following or taking their word as gospel. I remember a time when almost every interior was white, off white, beige etc... Interior designers were saying neutral colours were all the rage then. Thankfully people are taking back control of personal taste and expressing themselves the way they want to. Design an interior that speaks to you, if you can't do it yourself hire an interior designer (if you can afford one) who would take your ideas or what you like and express it in the design.
As for your comment about the street without artist work, you are right, of course we need art to embellish our concrete built environment / jungle with art. Are they some highly talented chosen bunch, well now that's the million dollar question. Very subjective, one person's art is another's person's.......
True, I always like to hear their expertly ideas, but I just couldn’t let them choose objects, furniture and especially art. For instance, above mantle piece, I would much rather choose a piece of art whether that be an original painting, sculpture or mirror, something that comes out of my life experience. It’s like having designers dress you, it’s all glamorous, but I find a lot more important to wear my lucky sweater, my grandmother’s locket or a cheap scarf bought by my child on some school trip. It’s more meaningful and beautiful. However, I appreciate designers a lot, especially for making public spaces more appealing. But, that said, there should be also place for artists. More money should be invested in making our environment attractive to look and learn from.
I thought it was cute but once she got to the kitchen it elevated. Such a gorgeous kitchen, living room and bathroom! I love the special "prep" area in the kitchen and that big window wall they installed. So unique to them but classic 🌻
I love the colours, they combination of patterns, colours and textures is genius.
I love colorful houses...my apartment is colourful too, different shades of yellow on the walls, a bit of green, white and ivory furniture, grey kitchen...love it!
This place is so up my alley , I love color and I like that they did not go nuts with the walls. I like colorful art, with cream or what walls. But I also like parts of painted walls, like they did.
I love the optimism of this space! The colour pallette reminds me of the preppy 90's, made modern...before covid and 9/11....The good ole days.
I've never been a fan of eclectic home decor, but this is so fresh & pretty. (Hmmm, I think I could be comfy here, actually) 😊💖
I love the colorful wallpaper in the kitchen, it adds a pop of color without going overboard.
Brilliant job! Love the yellow sofa. And, that wall paper over the prep area! The black and white IKEA rug is a real workhorse. I've seen it spruce up many floors. The weave on the dining chairs! I had to go back for another look. She was so right about the muted rug "pulling back". You can't have every item in a room being the star. Then you just go crazy not knowing where to look! Brilliant result! Would love to live there, or at least come over for drinks! Best from Indiana!
Just love the dining room
Casual and warm.
This house is amazing! Everything i want my house to be. Bright and colourful!
If coming home 2 a house like this doesn't lift the spirit, then u're already dead.
Adore this. ‘Joyful is the perfect word’. Beautiful transformation and I’m in love with that fabulous wallpaper in the kitchen workspace.
Wow, that corner of kitchen cabinets is incredibly smartly organised. And decorated! - love the accent wall.
All that pattern and color could have turned out really bad, but it’s absolutely beautiful!
Oh this is funkilly gorgeous....
Yeap
Luv it now.... bright and colourful.... Luv colors
Mmmh...loving those Swaziland baskets on the wall. What a pop of colour!
I love the sofa color and accent pillows, but that powder room wallpaper really made me whole. It's so pretty.
Color color color everywhere the eye can see. so creative.
These are my house colors and I'm so happy to see the things I've been planning carried out for me to see! The half-blue dining room wall, the yellow wall being the first thing you see, the reddish muted living room rug and the striped rug under the table (although mine is gray, not black), even the African baskets on the wall. I'm about to get to it and finish my main floor! Glad to know it all works together. Just gotta combine them well.
Great job! So much better than before, which had been truly dark and dismal! I love the eclectic whimsy of the new/old pieces, and the bright colors. Thank you for sharing! :)
Lovely! Lovely! I want to see the bedrooms now. Its just beautiful. Life is about colour.
That velvet sunny couch makes me so happy!
Nancy Wilkes yes l agree but difficult to keep clean l would imagine.
lou-anne korolischuk Yes, cleaning it would be tricky! Also, not all velvets are alike. Some velvets just simply do not age well. Still, it’s so sooo so pretty!!
No I actually had a yellowish sofa and it wasn't hard to keep clean. Fabric guard warm water and a sponge. Had white but not for long. Even had slip covers on the chair and washed all the time. Also depends on fabric too. I always use a washable fabric. Or low velvet like texture. My white was like a cotton linen.
I absolutely love the blue and white paint job in dining room.
My kind of people! I love the colors, they make me happy!
I love this! So much fun, and such a refreshing change from so many all-white houses.
OMG, Somebody. Please hire me. This is a gift, I have been given. I just realised that I spend my whole LIFE fixing things. Instead perfecting things. It's all about scale.
Finally a good video. Nice contrast to the boring gluxstein designs.
Pouestah Glad to know I’m not the only one who feels that way
Love the colours. Lifts my spirits immediately just watching this.
You can learn so much from these short videos. I love watching them, so inspirational! Thank you House & Home.
Beautiful and timeless colorful home project! Every single detail is well balanced, fun and welcoming.
Woooow so beautifully done with the colors, it's not too heavy, chic !!!!
Like pretty much everything except the white chandelier. It fades into the ceiling.
The baskets over the mantle are extraordinary.
Gorgeous! I love the entry and kitchen wallpapers!
I think it is beautiful, spacious and breezy more than being full of sunlight which is sometimes not needed like a house with a beautiful tree or trees for making use of scattered sunlight for effect and feeling nice as per the idea.
Gorgeous. This is the type of video I have been waiting for
Danica R Yes!!
Yeyeye!
Such a breath of fresh air. Love it. All of it
Wonderful idea for the movable kitchen island. So many houses, including the house I bought, have these wide oversized center islands that divide the kitchen and make it less functional.
I love it! A happy, functional home
Absolutely my favorite house I’ve seen on this channel! Would LOVE every bit of this.
Looks like lively modern Indian houses 💕
Love the bright colors that blends perfectly!
I am not a big fan of too much color when it comes to interior design but I must tell you that I might change my opinion after seeing this video. Kudos to the designer I must say. All the colors blend in beautifully. I love the front sitting room and the entrance hall. You can only feel a lot of joy when entering this home.
I'm happy now after watching this video. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
I like this...Personally I,would,have,done a pink toned red Persian rug in the living room...to,ke,it just begs for it.
So sunny and beautiful!
White wall as the big background, green plants, fun deco and colorful furnitures. Pinterest kind. Movable island nice.
Just a thought, would the dinning look a bit more balanced and dramatic if you have raised the level of the deep blue to perhaps 60" instead of 40. It would relieve the eye line being all in one level of the room. Enjoyed your video, thanks.
This is the yellow sofa of my dreams. I hVe been dreaming of owning a yellow sofa for 2 years now.
She’s so stylish. Understated and classic. Even her blouse and haircut scream, ‘elegance’.
Love this. Original, colourful and fun!!
I'm in love with this space. This design was created do beautifully.
Now THIS is the kind of home I want to live in. I love, love, love colour! Great Job!
Love that flowered wallpaper.
Fantastic use of colors. It’s like classy bohemian
Love it. Colors and textures. So alive, so comfortable
The kitchen is lovely n lively
Finally Colour!!! Beautiful
Is really out standing, I love the yellow colour entrance and sofa make the more calming 😀
I love designing my house with color.
Yes! I love yellow. Your designs are gorgeous.
beautiful, love the cheerfulness of this house. great job!!
Congratulations on a very joyful , lively, Lovely color designs, patterns, textures 💚💝🌻🌸🍀❤🌹💙💞💐
A cheerful house and a lovely designer
So refreshing from the gray and black decoraters!!!!Love the baskets on the wall. I have some too that I picked up from The Santa Fe Trading Co.
I want my house to be that colurful and joyful.... Love love love ....
Love the cheerful, bright colors. Gorgeous.
Gasped when I saw that bathroom. So gorgeous!
My jaw dropped when I saw the kitchen!

I have a dark dreary hall way and this has given me some real good ideas!
Seriously talented designer. It all works perfectly.
Love the kitchen wall paper.totally the interior work is eclectic
I love the couch and baskets.❤❤❤
So joyful and warm 💖
I love a colourful home and this is just my style. I am so sick of grey and white everywhere. People just don't realise how different they will feel living in a colourful house, I feel happy just walking into my living room due to all the colour I have brought in. Like this living room my walls are white, currently :), but every single thing in my room is bright and colourful, and everyone who walks in comments on how bright and happy it is. Changing your room with lots of colour really does change the way you feel in it x
Maybe some people don't like colour. Maybe they are happy when they enter their white and Gray houses.
@@MM-gv3dz Maybe, I know my daughter has a beautiful home with a lot of grey and she is a happy person. However, for anyone who feels down or suffers from anxiety grey can suck the positivity out of them sadly. I did have a primarily grey living room when I fist moved into my current home six years ago and at the time I loved it, but I know that now I have moved to the colourful side it has definitely impacted my emotional wellness.
Sorry computer playing up, continued :)
I think I chose it as it was a neutral base and I have never been into vibrant colour, even in my clothes, but now I know I'll never go back to a beige or grey living room. My bedroom is calm to be conducive to relaxation, so it is all dark blue, which I also love. x
Yep, I could move right in. Love what you did.
WOW you have my wallpaper in this kitchen. I did one accent wall with it in front of the bay window. Then I found a long iron birdcage that I suspended from the ceiling and put a Hoya plant in it. The sun has pampered that plant to a lush deep green. The wallpaper is perfect for that spot.
This is a truly beautiful renovation. XXX
Lovely! I love the way the colors just kind of all mesh! It looks totally unique. It is psychedelic and cool.
Those baskets above the fireplace are actually a copy of traditional Rwandese baskets. Nice touch.
tiles design on kitchen wall is excellent
